GPR

GPR will attend?MHI: The Association That Makes Supply Chains Work #ProMat2025?Conference in Chicago, Illinois, next week. Every year, the newest ideas and innovations gather here, and we're thrilled to meet with leaders across the supply chain at our first show. Interested in discussing robust localization solutions for your operations? Email [email protected] and let's meet!

One of the biggest yet often overlooked threats to localization reliability is ionospheric scintillation—a naturally occurring phenomenon where solar activity disrupts satellite signals. It’s unpredictable, increasingly frequent, and can introduce positioning errors ranging from a few centimeters to several meters. For industries that depend on uninterrupted, high-precision localization, this isn’t a minor inconvenience—it’s a fundamental challenge to safety, efficiency, and autonomy itself. With the upcoming solar maximum, these disruptions will only get worse, impacting industries like: ?? Autonomous Freight & Vehicles – Routing failures and costly delays ?? Aerospace & Defense – UAVs and military systems losing positioning ?? Mining & Industrial Automation – Safety risks and halted operations Our latest blog covers GPR's resilient alternative to positioning outages for ground vehicles- from tunnels to remote locations- transforming what's possible in uptime and autonomous operations.

On the heels of this week's announcement, we're resharing?this project for Empowered on technologies enabling safe and responsible autonomy, featuring Hexagon's?Nicole Waier. Traditional localization methods struggle in tunnels, urban canyons, and GPS-jammed areas. By combining NovAtel’s industry-leading technology with GPR’s subsurface mapping, we’re pushing the boundaries of autonomy, mining, and other mission-critical applications—ensuring centimeter-level accuracy when it matters most. This collaboration gets us closer to always-available and reliable autonomous navigation in all conditions. Watch the full video here: https://bit.ly/4bu1JH3

Today, we’re excited to announce a strategic collaboration with Hexagon's Autonomy & Positioning division, a global leader in precision positioning. Through this partnership, NovAtel’s SPAN GNSS+INS solution will integrate GPR’s WaveSense ground-penetrating radar, unlocking unparalleled localization accuracy in GNSS-denied environments. “GPR’s innovative solution is a complementary addition to SPAN to meet the rigorous positioning performance requirements for applications from mining to autonomy,"?Sandy Kennedy, vice-president of innovation with Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division. GPR is thrilled to receive this validation and begin the next phase of the agreement. ?? Together, we’re making autonomy safer, more reliable, and scalable across industries. Read more about this collaboration below, and stay tuned for updates!

GPR is headed to the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2025 Convention today! Noah Gedrimas will join world leaders in the mineral industry to discuss the trends shaping #mining and the role automation technologies play. Interested in meeting at #PDAC2025? Send us a message ??

Our teams are the backbone of GPR's success, so we can't think of any better advice than the one shared by Anisha Singrodia, GPR's Radar Machine Learning Engineer. We're pretty lucky to have her on our team too! ??

We’re excited to announce that GPR has officially received regulatory approval in Japan! ???? This milestone enables GPR to support the growing demand from Japanese OEMs and operators as industrial automation advances. With regulatory approval in place,?GPR—the world’s first and only Ground Penetrating Radar authorized for large-scale deployment on public roads—can now operate in Japan as well, providing one of the world’s most advanced automation markets with a resilient localization solution that functions across diverse environments and sectors. We’re thrilled to receive this approval and to work with innovators to enable the next generation of autonomous and automated mobility. To learn more, reach out to [email protected].

Let's not all get too jealous of Sam Judd- testing the WaveSense solution with the beautiful views of Zion National Park! We hope everyone else is having as scenic (& warm) end to the week. ???
